3 USING THE APPLIANCE

Information on Less Frost Technology
Thanks to the wrap around evaporator, Less Frost technology offers more efficient cooling, less manual defrost requirement, and more flexible storage room.
Thermostat Setting
The thermostat automatically regulates the temperature inside the cooler and freezer compartments. Refrigerator temperatures can be obtained by rotating the knob to higher numbers; 1 to 3, 1 to 5 or SF(Maximum numbers on the thermostat depends on your product.) Important note: Do not try to rotate the knob beyond position 1, it will stop your appliance from working.

Thermostat settings:
1 – 2 : For short-term storage of food
3 – 4 : For long-term storage of food
5 : Maximum cooling position. The appliance will work longer.If required, change the temperature setting. If device has SF position:

• Turn the knob to SF to freeze fresh food quickly. In this position, the freezer compartment will operate at lower temperatures. After your food freezes, turn the thermostat knob to its normal use position. If you do not change the SF position, your appliance work will automatically return to its last used thermostat position according to thetime indicated in the note. Return the thermostat switch to the SF position and return it to normal use according to the time indicated in the note.If the thermostat switch is in the SF position when your appliance is first started, your appliance work will automatically return to the operation in the thermostat-3 position according to the time indicated in the note. Super freezing: This switch shall be used as superfreeze switch. For maximum freezing capacity, please turn on this switch before 24 hours placing fresh food. After placing fresh food in the freezer, 24 hours ON position is generally sufficient. In order to save energy, please turn off this switch after 24 hours from placingfresh food. Winter Switch: If ambiant temperature is below 16 o C, this switch shall be used as winter switch and it keeps your fridge above 0 o C while freezer is below -18 o C in low ambiants.

Temperature Settings Warnings

• Your appliance is designed to operate in the ambient temperature ranges stated in the standards, according to the climate class stated in the information label. It is not recommended that your fridge is operated in the environments which are outside of the stated temperature ranges. This will reduce the cooling efficiency of the appliance.
• Temperature adjustments should be made according to the frequency of door openings, the quantity of food kept inside the appliance and the ambient temperature in the location of your appliance.
• When the appliance is first switched on, allow it to run for 24 hours in order to reach operating temperature. During this time, do not open the door and do not keep a large quantity of food inside.
• A 5 minute delay function is applied to prevent damage to the compressor of your appliance when connecting or disconnecting to mains, or when an energy breakdown occurs. Your appliance will begin to operate normally after 5 minutes.

Temperature indicator
In order to help you better set your refrigerator, we have equipped it with a temperature indicator located in the coldest area. To better store the food in your refrigerator, especially in the coldest area, make sure the message “OK” appears on the temperature indicator. If « OK » does not appear, this means temperature has not been set properly It may be difficult to see the indicator, make sure it is properly lit.Each time the temperature setting device is changed, wait for the stabilisation of the temperature inside the appliance before proceeding, if necessary, with a new temperature setting. Please change the position of the temperature setting device progressively and wait at least 12 hours before starting a new check and potential change.
NOTE: Following repeated openings (or prolonged opening) of the door or after putting fresh food into the appliance, it is normal for the indication “OK” not to appear in the temperature setting indicator. If there is an abnormal build up of ice crystals of ice crystals (bottom wall of the appliance) on the refrigerator compartment, evaporator (overloaded appliance, high room temperature, frequent door openings), put the temperature setting device on a lower position until compressor off periods are obtained again

The following symbol indicates the coldest area of your refrigerator. To be sure to have a low temperature in this area, make sure the shelf is located atthe level of this symbol, as shown inthe illustration.

The upper limit of the coldest area is indicated by the lower side of the sticker (head of the arrow). The coldest area upper shelf must be at the same level with the arrow head. The coldest area is below this level. As these shelves are removable, make sure they are always at the same level with these zone limits described on the stickers, in order to guarantee temperatures in this area.

Accessories
Visual and text descriptions in the accessories section may vary according to the model of your appliance. 3.5.1 Ice Tray (In some models)

• Fill the ice tray with water and place in the freezer compartment.
• After the water has completely frozen,you can twist the tray as shown below to remove the ice cubes.

The Plastic Scraper

(In some models) After some time, frost will build up in certain areas of the freezer. The frost accumulated in the freezer should be removed regularly. Use the plastic scraper provided, if necessary. Do not use sharp metal objects for this operation. They could puncture the refrigerator circuit and cause irreparable damage to the unit.

Adjustable Door Shelf (In some models)

Six different height adjustments can be made to provide storage areas that you need by adjustable door shelf. To change the position of adjustable door shelf ; Hold the bottom of the shelf and pull the buttons on the side of the door shelf direction of arrow. (Fig.1)

4. Release the side locking covers to detach the water tank cover.

5. The drip tray must be placed.Then gently press the valve lever to serve your drinks.

4 FOOD STORAGE

Refrigerator Compartment

• To reduce humidity and avoid the consequent formation of frost, always store liquids in sealed containers in the refrigerator. Frost tends to concentrate in the coldest parts of the evaporating liquid and, in time, your appliance will require more frequent defrosting.
• Cooked dishes must remain covered when they are kept in the fridge.Do not place warm foods in fridge.Place them when they are cool, otherwise the temperature/humidity inside the fridge will increases, reducing the fridge’s efficiency.
• Make sure no items are in direct contact with the rear wall of the appliance as frost will develop and packaging will stick to it. Do not open the refrigerator door frequently.
• We recommend that meat and clean fish are loosely wrapped and stored on the glass shelf just above the vegetable bin where the air is cooler, as this provides the best storage conditions.
• Store loose fruit and vegetable items in the crisper containers.
• Storing fruit and vegetables separately helps prevent ethylene-sensitive vegetables (green leaves, broccoli, carrot, etc.) being affected by ethylenereleaser fruits (banana, peach, apricot, fig etc.).
• Do not put wet vegetables into the refrigerator.
• Storage time for all food products depends on the initial quality of the food and an uninterrupted refrigeration cycle before refrigerator storage.
• Water leaking from meat may contaminate other products in the refrigerator. You should package meat products and clean any leakages on the shelves.
• Do not put food in front of the air flow passage.
• Consume packaged foods before the recommended expiry date. Do not allow food to come into contact with the temperature sensor, which is located in the refrigerator compartment, in order to keep the refrigerator compartment at optimum temperature.
• For normal working conditions, it will be sufficient to adjust the temperature setting of your refrigerator to +4 °C.
• The temperature of the fridge compartment should be in the range of 0-8 °C, fresh foods below 0 °C are iced and rotted, bacterial load increases above 8 °C, and spoils.
• Do not put hot food in the refrigerator immediately, wait for the temperature to pass outside. Hot foods increase the degree of your refrigerator and cause food poisoning and unnecessary spoiling of the food.
• Meat, fish, etc. should be store in the chiller compartment of the food, and the vegetable compartment is preferred for vegetables. (if available)
• To prevent cross contamination, meat products and fruit vegetables are not stored together.
• Foods should be placed in the refrigerator in closed containers or covered to prevent moisture and odors.

The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your refrigerator compartment

container and store on the glass shelf
Fresh cheese| 3 – 4 days| On the designated door shelf
Butter and margarine| 1 week| On the designated door shelf
Bottled products e.g. milk and yoghurt| Until the expiry date recommended by the producer| On the designated door shelf
Eggs| 1 month| On the designated egg shelf
Cooked food| 2 days| All shelves

Freezer Compartment

• The freezer is used for storing frozen food, freezing fresh food, and making ice cubes.

• Food in liquid form should be frozen in plastic cups and other food should be frozen in plastic folios or bags.For freezing fresh food; wrap and seal fresh food properly, that is the packaging should be air tight and shouldn’t leak. Special freezer bags, aluminum foil polythene bags and plastic containers are ideal.

• Do not store fresh food next to frozen food as it can thaw the frozen food.

• Before freezing fresh food, divide it into portions that can be consumed in one sitting.

• Consume thawed frozen food within a short period of time after defrosting

• Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions on food packaging when storing frozen food. If no information is provided food, should not be stored for more than 3 months from the date of purchase.

• When purchasing frozen food, make sure that it has been stored under appropriate conditions and that the packaging is not damaged.

• Frozen food should be transported in appropriate containers and placed in the freezer as soon as possible.

• Do not purchase frozen food if the packaging shows signs of humidity and abnormal swelling. It is probable that it has been stored at an unsuitable temperature and that the contents have deteriorated.

• The storage life of frozen food depends on the room temperature, the thermostat setting, how often the door is opened, the type of food, and the length of time required to transport the product from the shop to your home. Always follow the instructions printed on the packaging and never exceed the maximum storage life indicated.

• If the freezer door has been left open for a long time or not closed properly, frost will form and can prevent efficient air circulation. To resolve this, unplug the freezer and wait for it to defrost. Clean the freezer once it has fully defrosted.

• The freezer volume stated on the label is the volume without baskets, covers, and so on.

• Do not refreeze thawed food. It may pose a danger to your health and cause  problems such as food poisoning.
  NOTE: If you attempt to open the freezer door immediately after closing it, you will find that it will not open easily. This is normal. Once equilibrium has been reached, the door will open easily.

• Use the fast freezing shelf to freeze home cooking (and any other food which needs to be frozen quickly) more quickly because of the freezing shelf’s greater freezing power. Fast freezing shelf is the bottom drawer of the freezer compartment.

• To use the maximum capacity of the freezer compartment, use the glass shelves for the upper and middle section, and use the lower basket for the bottom section. The table below is a quick guide to show you the most efficient way to store the major food groups in your freezer compartment.

After cleaning the bowels and scales of the fish, wash and dry it. If necessary, remove the tail and head.

5 CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

 Disconnect the unit from the powersupply before cleaning.
 Do not wash your appliance by pouringwater on it.
 Do not use abrasive products, detergents or soaps for cleaning the appliance. After washing, rinse with clean water and dry carefully. When you have finished cleaning, reconnect the plug to the mains supply with dry hands.

• Make sure that no water enters the lamp housing and other electrical components.
• The appliance should be cleaned regularly using a solution of bicarbonate of soda and lukewarm water.
• Clean the accessories separately by hand with soap and water. Do not wash accessories in a dish washer.
• Clean the condenser with a brush at least twice a year. This will help you to save on energy costs and increase productivity

Defrosting Defrosting the Refrigerator Compartment

• Defrosting occurs automatically in the refrigerator compartment during operation. The water is collected by the evaporation tray and evaporates automatically.
• The evaporation tray and the water drain hole should be cleaned periodically with the defrost drain plug to prevent the water from collecting at the bottom of the refrigerator instead of flowing out.
• You can also clean the drain hole by pouring half a glass of water down it.

Freezer defrosting process

• Small amounts of frost will accumulate inside the freezer, depending on the length of time the door may be left open or the amount of moisture introduced. It is essential to ensure that no frost or ice is allowed to form in places where it will affect the close fitting of the door seal. This might allow air to penetrate the cabinet, encouraging continuous running of the compressor. Thin frost formation is quite soft and can be removed with a brush or plastic scraper. Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. Remove all dislodged frost from the cabinet floor. It is not necessary to switch off the appliance for the removal of thin frost.

• For the removal of heavy ice deposits, disconnect the appliance from the mains supply, empty the contents into cardboard boxes and wrap in thick blankets or layers of paper to keep cool. Defrosting will be most effective if carried out when the freezer is nearly empty and should be carried out as quickly as possible to prevent an unnecessary increase in the temperature of the contents.

• Do not use metal or sharp scrapers, mechanical devices or other means to accelerate the defrosting process. An increase in temperature of frozen food during defrosting will shorten the storagelife. Keep contents well wrapped and cool while defrosting is taking place.

• Dry the inside of the compartment with a sponge or a clean cloth.

• To accelerate the defrosting process, place one or more bowls of warm water in the freezer compartment.

• Examine the contents when replacing them in the freezer and if some of the packages have thawed out, they should be eaten within 24hours, or be cooked and re-frozen.

• After defrosting is complete, clean the inside of the appliance with a solution of warm water and a little bicarbonate of soda, then dry thoroughly. Wash all removable parts in the same way and reassemble. Reconnect the appliance o the mains supply and leave for 2 to 3 hours on setting number MAX before introducing the food back into the freezer.

6 SHIPMENT AND REPOSITIONING

Transportation and Changing Positioning

• The original packaging and foam may be kept for re-transportation (optional).
• Fasten your appliance with thick packaging, bands or strong cords and follow the instructions for transportation on the packaging.
• Remove all movable parts or fix them into the appliance against shocks using bands when re-positioning or transporting. Always carry your appliance in the upright position

8 TIPS FOR SAVING ENERGY

1. Install the appliance in a cool, wellventilated room, but not in direct sunlight and not near a heat source (such as a radiator or oven) otherwise an insulating plate should be used.
2. Allow warm food and drinks to cool before placing them inside the appliance.
3. Place thawing food in the refrigerator compartment if available. The low temperature of the frozen food will help cool the refrigerator compartment while the food is thawing. This will save energy. Frozen food left to thaw outside of the appliance will result in a waste of energy
4. Drinks or other liquids should be covered when inside the appliance. If left uncovered, the humidity inside the appliance will increase, therefore the appliance uses more energy. Keeping drinks and other liquids covered helps preserve their smell and taste.
5. Avoid keeping the doors open for long periods and opening the doors too frequently as warm air will enter the appliance and cause the compressor to switch on unnecessarily often.
6. Keep the covers of the different temperature compartments (such as the crisper and chiller if available) closed.
7. The door gasket must be clean and pliable. In case of wear, replace the gasket.
8. Energy consumption of your appliance is declared without drawers and fully loaded in freezer compartment.
9. For saving energy, do not use volume between the load limit and the door, along the load limit line. Load limit line is also used in energy consumption declaration.
